Abstract

Japan is a country with the most serious aging problem, hence it attaches great importance to the cultivation of international talents. The government allocates a lot of money and labor for the development of internationalization on education. However, it is difficult for foreigners to adapt to the Japanese workplace. In other words, Japan’s unique workplace culture leads to low employment intentions of foreigners. This paper analyses the reason why Japan urgently needs global talents, summarizes the difficulty which foreigners will meet at the workplace in Japan, and expresses views on increasing foreigners’ intentions to stay and work in Japan.

To conclude, the large-scale brain drain problem in Japan has not been well resolved. In order to prevent the problem, multiple perspectives should be looked at. Based on the current situation of the Japanese workplace, effective job-seeking assistance for international students needs to be proposed, and the culture shock problem needs to be focused on. Besides, Japanese companies should increase diversity in employee adoption to reverse the loss of international talents and reduce huge workplace stress.
